"In fact, you have been away from the earth for more than 20 years, and the earth's technology is constantly improving." Star-Lord nodded in agreement with Li Jie's words: "Yeah."
That's right. When he was a child, humans on the moon had to be broadcast live around the world, and it was made like a grand festival. Now that humans have set foot on Neptune, of course, they have improved a lot.
Li Jie continued to say in order: "In fact, it's not just the development of military technology and various professional fields. We have also made great progress in the entertainment industry. I don't know if you have seen the Star Wars series and the Terminator movies when you were still on Earth? "
"Of course! I must have seen them! " Star-Lord replied without hesitation: "When I watched Star Wars, I wanted to incarnate into an adventurer in the universe, but I really didn't expect that in the end, my dream did come true." Star-Lord sighed a little awkwardly.
"But it's a pity that I haven't seen the second installment of the Terminator series yet. At that time, I was kidnapped and left the earth. "
Li Jie smiled and pulled a very large box from his side, which was filled with a large box of Blu-ray HD 4K discs. He said to Star-Lord: "Then congratulations, you can now watch the Blu-ray HD 4K Reset Version of" Terminator 2 ". I must say that Arnold Schwarzenegger's T800 in this movie is the best performance of his screen career. After he retired from politics, he never made such a good movie again. Hollywood has also lost a top tough guy. "
Star-Lord looked at Li Jie incredulously, and his eyes widened: "What? Arnold Schwarzenegger in politics? Him? He has the same muscles as Drax the Destroyer, can he be in politics? "
Li Jie touched his chin. Is this a subtle way of saying that muscular men are brainless? Is this considered as a black mark? In fact, Star-Lord is just jealous that the muscular man has a better figure than him?
"There are a lot of things you can't think of." Li Jie handed the box full of HD Blu-ray 4K DVDs to Star-Lord and said: "And after the Star Wars trilogy ended, it was rebooted in the 1990s."
"George Lucas made the Star Wars prequel trilogy. There are also "The Force Awakens" and "Rogue One" to supplement the settings. You can watch it as a foreigner. "
"In order to make your lives less boring while you wait for the approval to cross the border, I specially selected some good movies from the past twenty years. 'Titanic' is suitable for you to watch with your girlfriend, 'Transformers' live-action movie, and HBO's classic war drama 'Band of Brothers', "Li Jie said as he flipped through the DVDs.
"There's also 'Game of Thrones', 'Downton Abbey', 'Sherlock Holmes', 'Gladiator', 'Spartan 300', 'Spartacus: Blood and Sand'. Of course, if you want to relax, there's also a variety of anime. For example, "Naruto", "One Piece" or something. "
Li Jie's big box is so full that he can't even fully introduce how many discs are on the first layer. He just handed it to Star-Lord and said: "These are all English versions, you can probably understand them. As for your companions, you seem to have intelligent translation equipment. "
Wow, Star-Lord's expression is indescribable, and the only expression he can make now is: Wow.
It seems that the Earth Federation official on the opposite side does have good intentions. Because he has never heard of that place where prisoners are held would give them so many movies and TV series to watch. Although there are several sequels in a series of movies, Star-Lord has never heard of the names of many movies and TV animations.
But that doesn't stop him from being very interested in these things. As Li Jie said, society has progressed for more than 20 years, and Star-Lord has reason to believe that the shooting of these entertainment movies must have also soared to a new height.
"We have installed an IMAX theater system for your temporary accommodation, and there are five of them in total. This way, you can find something you like to watch or play with. "Although Star-Lord didn't understand what IMAX was, it seemed to be a very powerful thing?
"As for the Nintendo Red and White you mentioned, to be honest, I can get you one. However, you probably wouldn't be able to play Super Mario on a 100-square-meter screen. I'm afraid the image would be too blurry. I will get you a 20-inch color TV for you to play with. But speaking of which, I need to make a recommendation for you, "Li Jie said as he dragged out a big box from his right side.
He introduced in a slightly proud tone, "These are the top video game consoles of the last 20 years: Sony's PS4.
PRO, Microsoft's XBOX-ONE-X, Nintendo's Switch! There are also handheld PSVs, 3DS, and a few of Dell's top computers! "
"And I have prepared a huge number of games for you! "God of War" series, "Mysterious Sea" series, "GTA5", "Super Mario: Odyssey", "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild", "Horizon: Dawn of Dawn" and so on. I have helped you collect all the good games with an IGN rating of 8.5 or above since 10 years. You can play them at will! "
Li Jie talked endlessly: "If you want to read, there are a huge number of e-books for you to read, including various East Ocean and American comics, as well as China's online literature and so on. If your AI translation equipment isn't very good, we can help you translate …. "
Star-Lord was still dizzy when he dragged the two large boxes away. When did the earthlings become so enthusiastic? Temporary detention actually gives so many benefits? Letting the prisoners play at will?
Even the hooded man just said that he could search for very good albums for Star-Lord over the years. But at the same time, he also regrettably told Star-Lord that Michael Jackson had died earlier. Star-Lord felt very sad about this.
Even after Star-Lord left, Li Jie also began to use a computer to record and classify recipes and menus, as well as various drinks and drinks available on the earth. He intends to make a very detailed list for the Guardian of the Galaxy to choose from.
In this regard, Tony Stark didn't understand what Li Jie was trying to do, so he raised his own question: "Are you going to treat them like masters? I haven't seen you care so much about anyone, I'm afraid you haven't even cared about Mage Lan like this. "
"No, I care more about her than that, it's just that there's no need to show it to you." Li Jie answered Tony's question without raising his head: "As for why I'm doing this? Don't think that I'm treating them like masters again. In fact, we are conducting a very serious social observation experiment. "
Li Jie was quickly dealing with the work at his hands, and the expression on his face was very serious. He didn't have the same carefree feeling as when he just chatted with Star-Lord.
And Li Jie's words also aroused the curiosity of the Illuminati. Dr. Banner asked curiously, "So what do you want to observe?"
"It's about entertainment. In fact, both Thor and Star-Lord inadvertently revealed a very subtle detail just now. That is the entertainment culture of the earth. Including food, various drinks. And all kinds of entertainment things, these things are lacking in other civilizations. "
Li Jie tapped on the keyboard and deliberated for a moment: "No, it shouldn't be said that they lack it. It should be said that they are not as diverse as the earth, they seem relatively single. "
"In fact, communication with alien civilizations is inevitable. How can we gain a foothold in this vast universe when we may lag behind in technology, science, and other aspects? "
Li Jie stood up and pointed to the dark universe outside the spaceport and said: "This dark universe is like the quietest deep sea. No one knows what is hidden in it. Our civilization is nothing but a broken dinghy sailing on the endless sea. We don't have 10,000-ton ships, we don't have strong ships and cannons. "
"But now, we have set sail without hesitation, preparing to find our own new world in this endless pitch-black sea. Our civilization has always suffered, and many of these hardships are not brought by extraterrestrial civilizations, but created by ourselves. "
"Even though we kill each other and fight for a few resources, we still have the ability to kill each other. But when the war or dispute comes to an end, someone will always put down the weapon in his hand, pick up the dusty guitar again, and play the beautiful black and white keys of the pianist again. "
"We humans are very good at entertaining ourselves, and we know how to heal our pain. In the era when we couldn't eat meat, we invented canned ham (ham sausage) and used this thing to deceive and anesthetize ourselves. When the pink ham was sliced and placed on a white porcelain plate, we would always say: Look! Life isn't that hard, I can still eat meat, can't I? "
"In the years of the Great Depression, workers could save half of their breakfast money and buy a newspaper of the day. They would comfort themselves with the stories serialized above. Or they would laugh at the little jokes above. Although you are hungry, when you can laugh, life is always not so hard to bear. "(Author's Note)
"Now that Venezuela's economy has collapsed, there is almost nothing to buy in their supermarkets, and riots happen all day. But there are still people living in this troubled country, using their remaining passion for life to make games. Because when we focus on something we are interested in, maybe the sound of gunfire not far away will not be so scary. "
"The universe is huge, and we are very small. If there is the only thing that can allow us to sail alone in this dark sea and not be so afraid. I think only our culture. "
Li Jie took a deep breath. "I am afraid this is also the only material we can strengthen our small sampan sailing in the dark universe."
"Asymmetric warfare has never been won by force alone. The prosperity of civilization and even the life and death of individuals have never been judged from a purely one-sided material point of view. Maybe I am a bit whimsical, but maybe. "Li Jie stretched out his index finger, his eyes firm.
"I mean, maybe, maybe we can rely on culture to fight a war without gunpowder? Whether it is movies, games, food, books. As long as we can borrow all the power we can borrow, we should use it. The Interstellar War may be fought, but after the Interstellar War is over, we have to find a way for our civilization to stand firm. "
"A Cultural War may be about to start. And now, they (Star-Lord and others) are the early preparations we are making for all of this. That's why I said this is a social experiment. We have five distinct research subjects. Leaving Star-Lord aside, we also have four completely different alien research subjects. "
